I become more and more convinced every outing that Pestano's dominance is an aberration. He maY be a solid contributor for years, but he's not a dominating pitcher. Still reminds me of David Riske. The more a hitter sees him, the more they'll hit him.

Thinking the same thing. The scouting reports must be getting pretty detailed now. He's got to change some things around, because we need him to be a late inning bridge guy.

Was surprised to see it was Huff rather than Carrasco sent back to Columbus. Granted, Huff will not keep pitching like he has been, and clearly, overall, Jimenez is the better pitcher. But basically, this amounts to putting Jimenez in Huff's spot and it will be difficult for anyone to keep pitching as well as Huff was. I wonder if Carrasco has another bad outing tonite, might we see him optioned out and ten days later, Huff recalled?

Don't need a 5th starter til August 13. Huff is eligible to come back on August 13.
